Chargebee Release Notes

We've resolved an issue where VAT number cache checks were not being applied consistently across various APIs, including the Migrate Customer API. As a result, the same VAT numbers were being validated repeatedly.

Previously, a message displaying a renewal date appeared for new subscriptions created with a single billing cycle, causing confusion for customers expecting the subscription not to renew. This issue has now been resolved.

In full-page checkout, the 'This field is required' message would appear if a customer clicked Apply without entering a coupon code. While this message is necessary to prompt users when no code is entered, it previously blocked the Proceed to Checkout action, unintentionally preventing customers from completing their purchase. Now, the message no longer impedes checkout, allowing customers to continue without providing a coupon code.

Previously, when upgrading a trial subscription to a paid plan, taxes did not display at checkout if the billing country field was set to read-only, even though they were correctly applied in the final invoice. This issue has now been resolved, ensuring that tax details appear upfront during checkout, even with a read-only billing country field.

We've resolved an issue that caused e-invoice failures when the tax calculation resulted in a minor discrepancy. The error occurred due to a rounding difference when calculating tax amounts to two decimal places. For example, for a taxable amount of 1629.13 and a 22% tax, the correct tax should be 358.40, but the system was sending 358.43. This issue, which resulted in e-invoice rejection, has now been fixed.

We've resolved an issue where the tax amounts for multiple line items on standalone credit notes occasionally mismatched. With this fix, the tax amount is now calculated accurately for each line item.

When using E-Invoicing, network identifier fields were not appearing during checkout for some customers, even when you had enabled the Collect network identifiers during checkout option. This has been fixed, ensuring smoother invoicing and enhanced compliance.

We have resolved an issue where you encountered a 'Token has expired' error when previewing checkout or portal sessions created via API on the live site.

We've fixed an issue where your customers might see an incorrect message on the checkout page stating they will be charged only after a trial period—even when no trial applies and the total amount is zero due to promotional credits or coupons. This eliminates confusion, enhancing your customers' trust in your service.

Scheduled override events now fire correctly when an override is activated. Previously, some events linked to scheduled overrides weren't triggered as expected, leading to incomplete actions or missed notifications. With this fix, you can now rely on all override-based events to execute smoothly, ensuring accurate workflows and timely updates.

We've resolved an issue where subscription scheduled changes were not taking effect at the planned time, causing incorrect billing during renewal. This occurred specifically for subscriptions using day-based proration, while millisecond-based proration worked correctly. With this fix, scheduled changes will now execute as expected, ensuring accurate billing and preventing disruptions to your customers' subscriptions.

We've fixed an issue where the upcoming Invoice for Committed Monthly Recurring Revenue (CMRR) API was throwing a 500 error when multi-frequency billing was enabled. Now, the API works seamlessly with this feature, ensuring secure and uninterrupted access to your upcoming invoice data without errors.

We've fixed an issue where the billing period for line items was displayed inconsistently between the UI and PDF for consolidated invoices. Previously, only the last billing cycle was shown in the UI, creating confusion when multiple subscriptions and unbilled charges were involved. Now, the billing period is clearly displayed for all line items, ensuring consistency across the UI and PDF, and making it easier for you to manage and understand billing details.

We've fixed an issue where the invoice total did not account for document-level coupons, only item-level coupons. With this fix, both document-level and item-level coupons are now properly applied, ensuring your invoices reflect the correct total and any discounts are accurately calculated.

We've fixed a rounding issue that caused a one-cent discrepancy in invoices with inclusive tax. Previously resolved for tax-exclusive cases, this issue has now been addressed for tax-inclusive scenarios as well. The fix ensures that credit note line items and their corresponding tax amounts are calculated consistently, providing accurate invoicing without rounding errors.

We've resolved an issue where a metered addon was being charged twice on the same invoice, despite being added to the subscription only once. This fix ensures that metered addons are billed correctly, preventing duplicate charges and helping you maintain accurate billing for your customers.

We've fixed an issue where removing a custom field from an item didn't trigger an item_updated event. Now, any change to custom fields, including the removal of custom field values, will correctly trigger this event. This improvement ensures that downstream systems are properly notified of all custom field updates, providing better visibility and consistency in your activity logs.

We have introduced Offer Quantity Coupons, that allow you to apply discounts based on the number of free units in subscriptions associated with per-unit plans. This feature helps you manage discounts without reducing the total quantity sold, offering flexibility in your pricing strategy while maintaining your sales volume. For more information, refer to our Help Documentation and API Documentation.

You can now unlock the full potential of your contract data with advanced query capabilities in the Report Builder. This update enables you to filter, analyze, and report on key contract fields—such as Contract ID, Status, Value, Billing Cycle, and more—in combination with other data sources like subscriptions, invoices, and historical records. Use Report Builder to get detailed information on your ongoing contracts, track your upcoming contracts due to renew/cancel, and take the right actions beforehand.
